Registration Questions
Q.
A. New Student Registration is a one-day program in which new students and transfer students will meet with a faculty advisor and register for fall classes. All first time and transfer students must attend a New Student Registration session.
While students are occupied with registration activities, special sessions are
provided for the students' family members which will familiarize them with the university, address their concerns as well as provide them with the opportunity to meet our President, Debow Freed, and other faculty and staff members. Although we offer a special invitation to your family to attend New Student Registration, it is not required for family members.
Q. A. Five Registration sessions are offered:
Q. A. Simply complete the New Student Registration RSVP card and drop it in the mail by the due date indicated a t the bottom of the card. On the card, we ask that you indicate your preferred dates of attendance. We will make every attempt to honor your choices. However, due to space restrictions, only a limited number of students can attend a given program. We will send you a confirmation letter indicating your scheduled date. RSVP preferences are processed according to date of receipt. You may also fill out the online RSVP form, Click Here
Q. A. Yes. All students are assessed a one-time fee of $100, which covers the registration program and meals, as well as the orientation weekend programming throughout the first year. This fee will show up on your final bill.
Q.
A. Placement tests are utilized for evaluation of your ability to be placed in course work at UF. Placement in a course with the appropriate level of challenge is vital to your success in the classroom. By having results of the various tests, academic advisors are better able to advise for class registration. Specific instructions about the online placement tests will be included in your confirmation packet once you have responded with you selected date of attendance.
Writing Placement Test-Students will be placed into a writing course based on their ACT or SAT scores. ENGL 104 College Writing 1 is the typical starting point for first-year students and for transfer students who do not already have credit for a college writing course. However, students who demonstrate strong verbal skills and strong academic reading ability on the ACT or SAT exam may enter directly into ENGL 106 College Writing 2."
Math Placement Test-The purpose of the Mathematics Placement Test is to determine if your first mathematics class at The University of Findlay should be pre-calculus or calculus. You should only take the test if you are comfortable with the topics of trigonometry, logarithms and exponential functions AND you wish to register for calculus your first semester. Typically, a student who will take this test has studied trigonometry, elementary functions and/or calculus at the high school level. You can not take calculus at UF without taking the Mathematics Placement Test. This test is only available online; therefore, you must take the test prior to your registration date.
Language Placement Test- If you have taken two or more years of French or Spanish, it is highly recommended that you take this test. If you place sufficiently high, you will earn foreign language credits. Please take the Reading, Grammar and Vocabulary Section of the test online before you come to Registration.
We recognize AP and CLEP. For more information about AP or CLEP, Click Here. Or type in AP or CLEP in the keyword search box located on the university's homepage.
